SKIPPED YESTERDAY AFTER WATCHING THE PSYCO CHOP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. IT WAS A SOLID 25-35 AND REPORTS FROM THE WATER WAS 4-4.5 WERE HEAVY. JUST DECIDED TO GO FOR THE A/C OVER THE SALT SEA AND DID NOT SAIL.
TODAY WAS GREAT, GOOD COMFORTABLE POWER AND SPEED, MISSED A FEW JIBES BUT STILL RATED A 9 FOR TIME AND FUN. RAN MOST BETWEEN ISLAND #1 AND LAUNCH, THE INSIDE WAS A BIT HOLEY BUT VERY NICE FOR POWERED JIBES. RUN OF THE DAY WAS ALONG THE SANDBAR SUPER FLAT AND FULLY POWERED FROM WORLDWINDS ALL THE WAY TO THE END AT THE RAMP (HAD TO SLOG BACK FOR AWHILE THOUGH). HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY WAS BEING ABLE TO PASS AND STAY AHEAD OF JVL WHO WAS UNDERPOWERED ON A 5.0/85L. THE SWELLS WERE INTERESTING TODAY WITH SOME REAL NICE AREAS INSIDE ISLAND #1 AND OUT TO ISLAND #2. MADE ALL HOPS AND JUMPS, ONE FAIRLY HIGH WITH LOTS OF POWER. THERE WAS SOME SMALL BUT INTERESTING SWELLS INSIDE ALONG THE SANDBAR BUT IT WAS EASY TO FIND A SLOT THROUGH WITH SPEED AND COMFORT. ALSO MADE ONLY DUCK JIBE TRIED AND ALL OUTSIDE FAST TACKS. HAVE BEEN DOING A FEW MORE STEP JIBES AND SEEM TO BE PLANING OUT BETTER AND MORE CONSISTENTLY. GOTTA REMEMBER TO ASK HANS/THOMAS WHICH HAND IS TO BE EXTENDED?
